The Little Museum of Dublin tells the story of Ireland’s capital city in the 20th Century. The social, cultural and political history of Dublin is chronicled in the Little Museum, and the collection will appeal to locals as well as tourists. There are many simple artefacts that pack a big punch – on subjects as varied as World War One and Wanderly Wagon.http://images.ratemyarea.com.s3.amazonaws.com/assets/0295/8725/the_little_museum_of_dublin_large.jpg?picture=2958725The Little Museum of Dublinhttp://www.littlemuseum.ie/visit-the-museumIrelandDublinDublin 215, St. Stephen's Green47I also went to the Little Museum of Dublin on a RateMyArea voucher and really enjoyed the experience. The museum is very small (only two rooms in total), but it has a lot to offer. It displays a varied range of items from the 20th century in Dublin The guided tour of the artefacts was really interesting and very nostalgic once it got towards the 80s and 90s - Millenium milk bottles and "I saw Santa in Switzers" badges were some of the more nostalgic items while the tram seat and JFK podium were only some of the many interesting items.
I would definitely recommend a tour of this museum for both tourists and Dubliners.4We did a ratemyarea voucher visit to this museum at the weekend. Very worthwhile addition to the Dublin cultural scene. You need to do the museum with a tour and I was told they hope to do these on the hour in the very near future. Not worth doing without the tour as it's the story of Dublin that makes this museum come alive.
Pros: short n sweet tour, central location, all 20th Century Dublin covered.
Cons: Only 2 rooms and pricey if no tour, limited space4The Little Museum of Dublin I have to say was one of the most enjoyable things I did during my visit to the city! Living now in Cork for 10 years it was great to go back to the city I grew up in and see my memories on display! They had pieces of history that I had forgotten about such as the old tram seat, the original wanderly wagon and the millennium countdown ticket. With an exceptionally friendly tour guide I felt free to ask questions and make comments. I highly recommend making a stop here, it will be well worth your time!5I first heard about The Little Museum through a James Joyce blog. A museum in Dublin featuring both the first English copy of Ulysses AND Joyce's death mask in its collection?! I had no choice but to make the pilgrimage, and completely geeked out upon seeing them in real life! I realise that I'm particularly weird, but it's the random little things like this that make the Little Museum so special. I found the wide variety of unique and quirky items in this collection so interesting; they really are a helpful tool for learning more about Dublin in the 20th century. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and the Georgian townhouse absolutely gorgeous! I would certainly go back again and bring my historically curious friends with me.
The only complaint I have is that The Little Museum IS just a wee bit little; I was expecting a few more items to be on display. Nevertheless, the ones they do have are certainly worth seeing. And it IS new, after all; I expect it to grow as more items are donated or loaned by Dubliners. :) Still, it's definitely a fun and interesting place for both locals and visitors alike!4The Little Museum of Dublin does exactly what it says on the tin!
Little but with a whole lot of Dublin. The price range is spot on and includes a copy of the 'Little History of Dublin'. A compact publication covering everything from Joyce to Jacob's.
The location of the museum is superb with a host of different transport option right outside the door.
Once inside, the spectacular Georgian townhouse will leave you spellbound and all before you begin a tour with, it must be said, possibly the most charming tour guides in the city.
Absolutely lovely!!!5The Little Museum is a small but charming museum which tells the story of Dublin in the 20th century.
The collection has a huge variety of artefacts, ranging from historical documents to fun objects like the original Wanderly Wagon.
The guided tour I did was excellent, the guide was very interesting and had a huge knowledge of Dublin.
The museum itself is housed in a beautiful Georgian townhouse overlooking Stephen's Green, which gives it a wonderful atmosphere, added to by the open fire, complete with armchairs to relax in.
A must-see not only for tourists, but also for any Dubliners looking to learn more about their city!
5This museum is a bit different but at the same time a bit pricey for what is in essence only two rooms worth of exhibition. That said, I've just learnt that there are slightly discounted tickets available online.453.3395154016-6.2583500147+353 1 661 1000cash
